IMPORTANT NOTICETO : All Applicants

FROM : Rosemary McCool, Director, Division of Registrations

SUBJECT : Licensure and Criminal History

Thank you for your interest in becoming a licensed* professional within the Division of Registrations.Before you submit your application, please be aware of a few facts regarding criminal conduct,convictions, and disciplinary actions in other states.

The mission of the Division of Registrations is “public protection through effective licensure andenforcement.” One way the Division safeguards consumers is by issuing licenses to fully qualified,competent, and ethical applicants.

During the licensing process – and depending on the specific application – the Division will ask whether you have ever been disciplined in any state, arrested, charged, convicted, or pled guilty to a crime. Anarrest, subsequent criminal conviction, or disciplinary action is not an automatic disqualification fromlicensure. Instead, the appropriate board or program will look at the facts surrounding the criminalconduct and disciplinary action to determine whether you are fit for licensure. You should know thatlicensure is a privilege, not a right. One thing you must do to obtain the privilege is to be completelyhonest on your application.

Be sure to list all relevant complaints, disciplinary actions, arrests, charges, or convictions in responseto the licensure questions. Failure to fully disclose could constitute grounds alone for denial of your application or revocation of your license. More important, avoid some of the common excuses we haveheard from people who failed to disclose, such as:

• My attorney told me I didn’t have to disclose the criminal conduct or disciplinary actions.

• I didn’t think the prior conduct had anything to do with the profession.

• I didn’t think the disciplinary action, arrest, charges, or conviction was still on my record.

• I didn’t think it was subject to disclosure because I received a deferred sentence/judgment.

Remember, there is no excuse not to disclose disciplinary actions and criminal conduct. Even after licensure, you are still required to notify your professional licensing board or program about subsequentconvictions and disciplinary actions in other states.

The Division conducts audits of its licensing database against several criminal and national disciplinary

databases. This allows the Division to verify the truthfulness of your application and track subsequentcriminal and disciplinary conduct after initial licensure.
